Model: 6 mm full-thickness excisional skin wound in mice, zebrafish larval tail fin amputation and regeneration, and human acute irritant contact dermatitis induced by 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate patches on the volar forearm

Lawsone activated AhR in keratinocytes, zebrafish larvae and human skin, inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation and promoting cornified envelope differentiation. It delayed mouse wound healing and impaired zebrafish fin regeneration and neutrophil recruitment, yet topical Lawsone cream accelerated r…
